China Products

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/Singapore/Story/STIStory_282300.html

The latest additions to the Singapore list are two flavours of Dutch Lady bottled sterilised milk; Silang House of Steamed Potato's potato crackers; and two flavours of Xu Fu Ji's puffed rice rolls. They join Dutch Lady strawberry- flavoured sterilised milk, a Yili yogurt-flavoured ice bar, and White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

So my friends, do avoid these if you can.

But of course, theres no cause of panic as AVA has assured that the content of Melamine is still low compared to the ones in China.

So for those SMS/emails circulating around, some people maybe out to hurt other brands by any oh how to include into the "Brand Recall List" so don't anyhow listen but listen to the main source! Newspaper and AVA.

Hello, look at the cute M&M chocolate. How can they be posionous?

AWWW, here here come to Mama.

So what has been happening?

Let Reporter Ching do a brief summary of the happenings.

The people in China (I am too embarrassed to say Chinese) have diluted the milk to increase volume so as to increase profit margin.



And since diluted not enough proteins vitamins "content", they needed to add "something" in to allow it reach the acceptable amount for exporting of milk products.

Hence, Melamine is added in to increase the proteins vitamins "content".

For your information, Melamine is a toxic that is used to make plastic products.

As a result, 50, 000 kids were affected and a large number of kids are in critical condition.
(Eh excuse the stats la, I read it but since I am not so much a number person, it does not stay strong in my mind)

4 kids are dead because of it.

Impact on China:

1. Terrible blow to the reputation of China export products (correct me if I am wrong- there were few cases of baby's death of their Made in China toys/cribs)
2. Loss of investors

Importantly, imagine the parents pain whats more with the one child per family policy.

I guess this has hit them back the hardest- Kids.

The future pillars and future leaders of the nation.

Maybe this incident, will finally let them learn and understand that there are ethical issues in the world.

Surely at the expense of 50, 000 kids are a lill too much.

But some times, some people need to be shock completely into action.

Oh wells, everything happens for a reason.

For those who believe in God, God has plans.

For me who believe someone up there, thinks that someone up is annoyed at something.

I am very sad.

I like to eat big rabbit sweet leh. =((
